Rainbow Park Playground #1
If you’re wanting the WOW factor, Rainbow Park’s main playground is a great stop! There are tall slides, and maybe more thrilling, there is a high tunnel (seen in the title image) too.
Age Recommendations: All! There is a separate play structure, bouncers and large sandbox for the younger ages. The older kids will love the high equipment, climbing options and the extra amenities!
Swings: There are 2 baby swings and 2 traditional swings. It did appear that another type of swing had been there, but was taken down. Let us know in the comments if you see it fixed!
Unique Features: We loved the mountain cabin feel throughout this playground. There was a bear-shaped bridge between structures, bumblebee and ladybug bouncers, cabin walls and treetops overhead. Additionally, Rainbow Park’s main playground has balance steps, a steel cable pyramid and has many ramp accessible features as well.

Rainbow Park Playground #2
To our delight, we found a second fantastic playground just a short walk from the first. This Rainbow Park playground has a castle theme, adorable colors and, our favorite playground feature, a scavenger hunt!
Age Recommendations: This is a playground for younger ages as everything is lower to the ground and approved for ages 2 to 5. Older siblings will still enjoy the scavenger hunt and swings though.
Swings: There are 2 baby swings and 2 traditional swings.
Unique Features: This bonus Rainbow Park playground has a Scavenger Hunt! Small emblems are installed around the playground (like the gold crown below) making it a fun way to explore the park and you can even make it into a game. Additionally, this playground has butterfly-topped steps, bouncers, spinners and tunnels.
Surrounding Area Highlights
There is so much to do at Rainbow Park in Silverthorne! Aside from the playgrounds, there is a very large skate park, at least four sand volleyball courts, tennis/pickleball courts (enough that a tournament was going on when we visited!), and a basketball court.
If you go during the winter, there is a great spot for sledding as well!
Thanks for joining us at Slides & Sunshine. Now it’s time to get out there and PLAY!
